Genesis Block, an incubation and collaboration space for blockchain technology companies, has launched in Boston in a partnership between WeWork Boston and Bitcoin Market Journal. Located at the historic 34-story One Beacon Street, on Boston’s Freedom Trail, the facility will serve as the nation’s East Coast hub for innovative blockchain companies.

Overlooking the golden dome of the Massachusetts State House, Genesis Block consists of more than a dozen blockchain companies, entrepreneurs, and investors, taking occupancy on the 15th floor of the office tower in Beacon Hill. Anchor companies include Bitcoin Market Journal, EtheraLabs, Level K, Real Estate Chain, CoCreateX, and Media Shower.

Bitcoin Market Journal’s John Hargrave says, “The first block of a new blockchain project is called the ‘Genesis Block. It’s the seed that grows into a mighty tree. It seemed like the perfect name for our historic group of blockchain pioneers.”
